HC Deb 21 July 1936 vol 315 c227
16. Mr. KENNEDY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has addressed any remonstrance to the Manchester Corporation on account of the alleged dismissal of corporation employés during their absence on territorial training, and with what result?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Duff Cooper)

I understand that representations were made to the Manchester Corporation by the local Territorial Army authorities, and that the employé in question has been re-engaged.

Mr. SHINWELL

I suppose the right hon. Gentleman is aware that the Manchester Corporation is a Conservative authority?
